This Spirit Root Really Packs a Punch!

Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan thought he was beyond saving. "First, I don't know, and for now I can't rule out that possibility either."

"Second, capitalist cultivation over there has really gotten into your head. How did you grow up this crooked?"

"Seriously, your lack of a bottom line is beyond anything I imagined. No, wait, do you even have a bottom line anymore?"

"What kind of garbage dump is the cultivation world over there?"

Punk Lü Yuan spoke with righteous conviction. "I won't let you talk about our Capitalist Immortal Cultivation Realm like that!"

"We can never repay the kindness of the megacorporations and the True Lord masters!"

"If the company masters hadn't given me a chance, I'd still be working on an assembly line without a Spirit Root. Where else would I have gotten the chance to have a Spirit Aperture artificially opened and start cultivating?"

"To put it bluntly—and my words will fall on deaf ears—if you didn't have a Spirit Root, wouldn't you be desperate to come over here and open a Spirit Aperture?"

"Not being able to cultivate without a Spirit Root has long been a thing of the past in our Capitalist Immortal Cultivation Realm."

"The masters of our Capitalist Immortal Cultivation Realm are the real masters!"

Hearing this, Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan sneered. "In that case, Master Capitalist, why don't you wait until your artificial Spirit Aperture comes through before you try to sense Embryonic Breathing within yourself?"

"After all, who knows whether my Spirit Root will work over there-"

That was right. Since Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan could bring the immortal book here to share with Punk Lü Yuan, he could naturally lend Punk Lü Yuan his Spirit Root here as well.

To their surprise, however, Punk Lü Yuan couldn't bring anything over at the moment.

The two guessed that perhaps it was because Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan had a Spirit Root and a Cultivation Method, and had achieved Embryonic Breathing in half a day, gaining cultivation.

That was why he had unlocked this ability.

But it was only a guess. As for the details, they would have to see what changed after Punk Lü Yuan opened his Spirit Aperture and achieved Embryonic Breathing.

Perhaps some might wonder-

This was an experiment of great importance, one that concerned whether the two could exchange the specialties from their respective worlds to profit from the price difference, and even improve each other's potential on the immortal path.

Why wait until Punk Lü Yuan's Spirit Aperture had been artificially opened before having him achieve Embryonic Breathing and verify the answer?

Wouldn't it be better to have Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan give him the Spirit Root and Cultivation Method directly, so he could also perform the feat of achieving Embryonic Breathing in half a day?

After all, the two were originally one, so there was nothing they couldn't do.

The answer was actually very simple.

First, Punk Lü Yuan's Embryonic Breathing permit hadn't come through yet. If someone discovered that he had been cultivating without a permit when his aperture was opened later,

he would get a taste of the corporate iron fist under capitalist cultivation.

Second, he couldn't use the seventh-grade Cultivation Method from the immortal book to achieve Embryonic Breathing.

What a joke. This wasn't the Ancient Immortal Cultivation Realm, and he had neither an immortal book in hand nor an immortal's prophecy to protect him.

Dare to cultivate a seventh-grade Cultivation Method?

Did he really take the True Lords in the megacorporations and the broad masses of capitalists for fools?

As long as someone noticed the difference in the Embryonic Breathing he had achieved, it might not be possible for them to pirate it, turn around and sue him for infringement, and demand compensation that would bankrupt him.

After all, it was a seventh-grade Cultivation Method, but there was a good chance a True Lord would slice him up and search his soul.

Punk Lü Yuan could only wait until his Spirit Aperture was opened, then practice the standard fourth-grade Embryonic Breathing Cultivation Method issued by the megacorporation.

That was also why he wanted to lure the immortal book over to his side.

He really was scared...

Still, although he couldn't achieve Embryonic Breathing ahead of time, he could use the Spirit Root to build a solid foundation beforehand.

According to the information Punk Lü Yuan had found online, elementary school students with only their first Spirit Aperture needed at least a few months and as long as half a year to achieve Embryonic Breathing.

Opening a second Spirit Aperture could cut that time by nearly half.

But compared with Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan's lightning speed of less than an afternoon, it was a little witch meeting a great witch.

So no matter what, he had to borrow the Spirit Root.

Having a Spirit Root was great. Punk Lü Yuan had long wanted to find out what it felt like to be a Celestial Dragon!

So after Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan sneered, he hugged his leg without the slightest hesitation, blinking as he begged for forgiveness.

"Dad!"

Those first words nearly made Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan lose his composure, but Punk Lü Yuan felt nothing of the sort. His skin was as thick as a city wall.

Dignity?

How many Spirit Stone Vouchers was that worth?

"I was merely jesting just now-"

"Our minds are linked. Don't you know my admiration for you flows like the endless waters of a mighty river?"

"Something like the immortal book ought to be yours. Only a future Dao Embryo like you, personally chosen by an immortal's prophecy, is worthy of it..."

Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan held his head and raised a hand, stopping him from continuing.

"Stop, stop, stop. All right, all right. So you do remember our minds are linked-"

"Who was it that, while hugging the immortal book and playing the victim, was thinking, 'The struggle for the heir's position has always been this way'?"

"And don't go borrowing against my future as a Dao Embryo. After all the jinxing you've done, I'll be thanking heaven and earth if I don't get a flat tire in the future."

With that, he wasted no more time. He waved his hand and temporarily lent his Spirit Root to Punk Lü Yuan.

A beam of white light entered Punk Lü Yuan.

Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan yawned. "Day and night are exactly reversed between our worlds. I'm going to sleep. It's daytime over there, so take it and sense things on your own. Don't go damaging my Spirit Root."

Then his figure gradually turned indistinct, and he withdrew from the consciousness space that belonged solely to the two of them.

Punk Lü Yuan's lips slowly curled upward.

A Spirit Root.

A Spirit Root?

A Spirit Root!

A Spirit Aperture had once been beyond his wildest hopes, yet he was getting to play with something as unattainable as a Spirit Root even sooner.

Wasn't this just like him defiling a beautiful white moonlight?

No, no, I can't laugh yet. I have to hold it in!

But how can I possibly hold it in at a time like this?

Leaving and entering the consciousness space takes about ten seconds, so I'll wait another fifteen seconds. After fifteen seconds, I'll bury my head and laugh in my bedroom.

Ten seconds slowly passed, and Punk Lü Yuan's figure gradually disappeared.

His consciousness finally returned to the cramped, dark bedroom.

But before the fifteen seconds were up, the moment he got out, Lü Yuan buried his head under his pillow and began chuckling uncontrollably.

"Jie jie jie jie..."

"Eight years, five of them honing myself on an assembly line, and my cheat has finally arrived before I start elementary school!"

"Although it's all thanks to myself in the Ancient Immortal Cultivation Realm..."

"But rounding it off, wasn't that still thanks to my own efforts?"

"Relying only on myself, not on outside help-both talented and virtuous!"

Lü Yuan spoke with righteous conviction in his heart, but he didn't waste much time. He hurriedly sensed what changes having a Spirit Root had brought him.

They were huge-

The changes really were huge and, unexpectedly, completely different from Ancient Cultivator Lü Yuan's description.

According to him, although he had a Spirit Root, he had been completely unaware of it before obtaining the immortal book.

That was because, before practicing a Cultivation Method, he had barely been able to sense the existence of Spiritual Qi.

But things were entirely different for him.

He didn't even need to try to sense Spiritual Qi. Simply by closing his eyes, Lü Yuan could feel it everywhere!

"Oh ho ho ho ho!!"
